It will be `much* easier to accomplish in molecular biology than anywhere else. If I were going to do it, I would want contributions from Judea Pearl style causal reasoning folks, and from Geoff Hinton style machine learning folks, many of whom are under 50. But they have useful technology, not a vision of what to do. I would also want designers and information visualization folks, since the communicative aspect of an Al can't just be typing at a teletype any more...
